Application
AL and AL...Z contactors are mainly used for controlling 3-phase motors and for
controlling power circuits corresponding to their operating characteristics up to
690 and even 1000 VAC. and 440 VDC.
Control circuit types
AL9 - AL40: DC coil with low power consumption of 3W to 3.5W
AL9Z - AL16Z: DC coil with low power consumption of 2.4W. Designed to be
directly controlled by PLC.
Location of surge suppressors.
Quick mounting on DIN rail: EN 50022 and
EN 50023 standards:
Clear marking of coil voltages and frequencies.
35 x 7.5mm for AL9 - AL40
35 x 15mm for AL9 - AL40
Location of side mounted accessories: on right
or left hand side.
Terminal marking according to IEC 60947-4-1,
EN 50005, EN 50012 and NEMA standards.
Location of function marker.
Holes for screw mounting (screws not supplied).
Distance between holes according to EN 50003.
Stops for attaching front mounted accessories.
Terminal screws:
Terminals delivered in open position with captive
screws (unused terminal screws must be
tightened).
AL9 - AL40
• Posidrive (+,-) No° 2 for all AL contactors
Screwdriver guidance for all terminals makes it
possible to use motorized screwdrivers.
All terminals provide protection against accidental
direct contact with live parts according to
VDE0106 - Part. 100.
All AL9 - AL40 contactor terminals as well as
contactor auxiliary contacts and coil terminals
ensure IP20 degree of protection according to
IEC 60947-1.

Coil voltage selection
Mechanical interlock
All DC operated catalog numbers include a 24VDC coil. To select other coil
voltages, substitute the code from the Coil Voltage Selection Chart for the two
digits after the last dash in the catalog number.
Ex.: A 48V coil is required for an AL30 contactor: AL30-30-10-83
Mechanically interlocked contactors are designed for reversing, 2 speed, reduced
voltage, etc. type starter applications. The complete assembly consists of two
mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors mounted as follows with line
and load terminals:
Auxiliary contact blocks
• AL9 & AL16 — mounted on 35mm DIN rail
• AL26 & AL40 — mounted on common baseplate
For additional auxiliary contact blocks, see catalog number explanation on page
1.6. Add $ 20 to list price for each additional auxiliary, and see page 1.18 for
available combinations.
